Inter, summit in Pinetina: cost reduction and no investments

A friendly atmosphere, clear ideas on the table to get to the top of the table, but also a healthy realism: football in the Covid era is still a fragile industry. The long-awaited Inter summit among all the members of the club took place in Pinetina to take stock of the season, lived up to now between the scorching disappointment in the Champions League and the powerful relaunch of the League with seven consecutive victories. An almost obligatory act given the start of the winter market just around the corner. In addition to Antonio Conte, the two Beppe Marotta and Alessandro Antonello and the sports director Piero Ausilio, there was also Lele Oriali and, above all, connected by videoconference from Nanjing, President Steven Zhang (it is not yet known when he will return to Italy given commitments to the new club sponsor). Nothing comparable to the now famous Villa Bellini summit, in fact today’s meeting has fostered an alignment on the club’s strategies that have been shared by all.

The market knocks on the door, since the probable farewell of Eriksen (and that of Nainggolan) in search of a Lukaku deputy, but in that hour that he spent with Pinetina between the two training sessions of the day, a concept that is the premise of All reasoning: Inter do not foresee investments in this transfer campaign, any entry will have to be compensated with an exit. And from here we come to point two of the meeting: to ensure the sustainability of the project, the necessary cost reduction will be sought. Translated: some sales and maybe some savings on wages that have grown a lot last time. To reduce the amount of salaries, the idea is also to achieve a salary differential, especially in the context of renovations. In short, unity of intentions to close the year in the best possible way: the cousins ​​are only one point away, net of any tactic, the championship is looming on the horizon.
